Part ORO - ANNEX III - Organisational Requirement for Air Operations

regardless of who developed them, is the responsibility of the operator.
(c) Any item in the MEL requiring an operational or maintenance procedure to ensure an
acceptable level of safety should be so identified in the ‘remarks’ or ’exceptions’
column/part/section of the MEL. This will normally be ‘(O)’ for an operational procedure, or
‘(M)’ for a maintenance procedure. ‘(O)(M)’ means both operational and maintenance
procedures are required.
(d) The satisfactory accomplishment of all procedures, regardless of who performs them, is
the responsibility of the operator.
ORO.MLR.105(g) GM1 Minimum equipment list
OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
(a) Operational and maintenance procedures are an integral part of the compensating
conditions needed to maintain an acceptable level of safety, enabling the CAA to approve
the MEL. The CAA may request presentation of fully developed (O) and/or (M) procedures
in the course of the MEL approval process.
(b) Normally, operational procedures are accomplished by the flight crew; however, other
personnel may be qualified and authorised to perform certain functions.
(c) Normally, maintenance procedures are accomplished by the maintenance personnel;
however, other personnel may be qualified and authorised to perform certain functions in
accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014.
(d) Operator's manuals may include the OM, the continued airworthiness management
organisation manual (CAME) or other documents. Operational and maintenance
procedures, regardless of the document where they are contained, should be readily
available for use when needed for the application of the MEL.
(e) Unless specifically permitted by a maintenance procedure, an inoperative item may not be
removed from the aircraft.
ORO.MLR.105(h) AMC1 Minimum equipment list
OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES — APPLICABLE CHANGES
(a) Changes to the operational and maintenance procedures referenced in the MMEL are
considered applicable and require the amendment of the maintenance and operating
procedures referenced in the MEL when:
(1) the modified procedure is applicable to the operator’s MEL; and
(2) the purpose of this change is to improve compliance with the intent of the
associated MMEL dispatch condition.
(b) An acceptable timescale for the amendments of maintenance and operating procedures,
as defined in (a), should be 90 days from the date when the amended procedures
referenced in the MMEL are made available. Reduced timescales for the implementation
of safety related amendments may be required if the CAA considers it necessary.
ORO.MLR.105(j) AMC1 Minimum equipment list
OPERATION OF AN AIRCRAFT WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE MMEL — OPERATOR’S
PROCEDURES FOR THE APPROVAL BY THE CAA
(a) The operator’s procedures to address the operation of an aircraft outside the constraints
of the MEL but within the constraints of the MMEL and ongoing surveillance to ensure
compliance should provide the CAA with details of the name and position of the nominated
personnel responsible for the control of the operations under such conditions and details
of the specific duties and responsibilities established to control the use of the approval.
(b) Personnel authorising operations under such approval should be adequately trained in
technical and operational disciplines to accomplish their duties. They should have the
necessary operational knowledge in terms of operational use of the MEL as alleviating
documents by flight crew and maintenance personnel and engineering competence. The
authorising personnel should be listed by appointment and name.
ORO.MLR.105(j) GM1 Minimum equipment list
OPERATION OF AN AIRCRAFT WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE MMEL — OPERATOR’S
PROCEDURES FOR THE APPROVAL BY THE CAA
Procedures for the operation of an aircraft outside the constraints of the MEL but within the
constraints of the MMEL should only be applied under certain conditions, such as a shortage of parts
from manufacturers or other unforeseen situations (e.g. inability to obtain equipment necessary for
proper troubleshooting and repair), in which case the operator may be unable to comply with the
constraints specified in the MEL.
